New Years Fireworks

No pictures. For once I wanted to enjoy the sight of something truly amazing. At midnight the fireworks started and this was no ordinary fireworks show. The city sets off perfectly timed fireworks to music from about a dozen roof tops, Federation Square, and Docklands. The music can be heard on the radio so anyone can listen. From our friend's apartment the building straight across was one of the ones with fireworks on the roof. We had a perfect view and could see pretty much everything. We decided to stay in since no one really wanted to go walk around with the crowds and it was the best decision. I can't even begin to explain how amazing this was. It wasn't a few fireworks here and a few there, but an entire show going off from each location. You didn't have to go to a specific location because the whole city was the celebration. It was so bright that the whole city seemed to shine with each spectacular explosion. I've never seen so many fireworks going off all at the same time and I don't think many of the other people had either. I did not take any pictures, but I found a couple online to give you an example of what I am trying to describe.

*in this first picture we were next to the tall building with the blue lights on the top of it. I'm not sure we could have found a better view anywhere else :) We were right in the middle of it all.
